Quit ALPA Now!

Incompetent ALPA idiots will pay United Pilots 44 million dollars in a settlement for goofing up their retirement allocation. Good heavens, this is $830 per member. FK ALPA, All day, all night...

Hey smarty pants. ALPA won't be paying the complete $44 mil. Insurance policies will be covering over 80% of the settlement.

Not only that, but ALPA didn't "goof up" anything. Nothing was wrong with the allocation. This was merely to avoid the risk of an ignorant jury awarding a far greater amount of money that wasn't deserved in the first place. The allocation was handled just fine at UAL.

You missed the part where ALPA is now suing UAL since indemnification language was included in the distribution. Uncle Tilty may end up picking up the tab yet.

Ready. Fire. Aim.

...And the alternative would be what, exactly?

By the way, what sort of work do you do for YOUR pilot group?

ALPA's lawsuit against United to recover the costs of the settlement will be thrown out. The settlement is final. ALPA missed the window for appealing the settlement. Their lawsuit against United to recover the costs of the settlement is a lost cause. ALPA members will eat the bill and ALPA will be more useless than ever, if that's possible...

Check your facts before rambling incoherently. The settlement is final, but that has nothing to do with ALPA's suit against UAL to enforce the language that requires UAL to pay the settlement. It may take a while, but UAL will likely have to pay the entire settlement amount in the end.

As far as ALPA "eating the bill," the amount that ALPA actually has to pay, as opposed to what the insurance companies will pay, is rather small. ALPA's budget is still balanced for the year and the financial situation is improving.
